I am migrating some kickstarts from RHEL 3.0 to RHEL 4.0 and I can't figure out how to get the cdrom device mounted in the %post section. In RHEL 3.0, I always used the method mentioned on this list many times: %post updfstab mount /mnt/cdrom tar xfp /mnt/cdrom/somefile.tar -C /opt That doesn't work in RHEL 4.0 as updfstab is now gone. It looks like in RHEL 4 it is the the haldaemon (by calling fstab-sync) that does something similar to what updfstab used to do. I tried starting that in %post, and it says it started OK but it doesn't update fstab, nor does it stay running. I've also tried parsing /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info and then attempting to mount the device listed there. That didn't work as the device hasn't been made yet at /dev/hd?. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the CD mounted during %post in RHEL 4 kickstarts?
Run '/sbin/udevstart' at beginning of %post which will create the necessary devices, worked for me at least.
